Frequently asked questions
What is the current JPY to USD exchange rate?+
The current mid-market exchange rate is 1 JPY = $0.006290. This is the indicative interbank rate before any bank or forex-card markup is applied.
Why is the rate my bank gives me different from this rate?+
Banks apply a spread, typically 1.5 to 3% for retail FX in India, to cover the cost of holding inventory and offering instant conversion. The figure above is the wholesale mid-market value; the bank's TT buying or selling rate sits on either side of it. A treasury-desk negotiated rate on a sized ticket compresses this to 30 to 80 bps.
How often is this rate updated?+
Through the day. The page refreshes its cached rate as you and others visit, so the figure tracks the market over the trading day. For the live tick at this exact moment, refresh the page.
Can I use this rate for FEMA filings or tax reporting?+
No. For regulatory filings in India (FEMA 401, LRS, TCS on outbound remittance under Section 206C(1G), Form A2) you should use the RBI reference rate or the rate at which your bank actually executed the transaction. The figure above is an indicative reference only.
What's the difference between TT buying, TT selling, and the mid-market rate?+
TT buying is the rate at which a bank buys foreign currency from you (used for inward remittance). TT selling is the rate at which it sells you foreign currency (used for outward transfers). The mid-market rate is the midpoint, and banks build their spread symmetrically around it. The gap between TT buying and TT selling is roughly twice the bank's effective markup.
What is the 52-week high and low for JPY/USD?+
See the stats block above. The 52-week high marks the most expensive level (in target-currency terms) and the low marks the cheapest. Treasury teams use these as anchors when setting hedge ratios.
Should an SMB finance lead worry about FX spreads?+
Yes. At scale, FX spread is often the largest controllable cost in cross-border operations. For an SMB doing $50,000/month of imports, a 200-bps reduction in spread is $12,000/year of recovered margin. Most banks will negotiate if asked.
Where can I see what specific Indian banks charge?+
Open the bank-rate comparison page at /compare/India/fx-rates/JPY-INR — every Indian bank's TT, bills, travel-card and currency-note rates for JPY, ranked from tightest to widest spread. Or jump into a specific bank like /banks/India/sbi/fx for that bank's full currency matrix.
